Disney just dropped a photo of the Millennium Falcon parked behind construction walls at Disneyland, and it looks ready for Han Solo to step aboard.

The shot of the life-size spacecraft offers a sneak peek of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, opening in summer at Disneyland in 2019.

The Millennium Falcon appears to be a faithful re-creation of the ship in the films. It’s parked outside the domed structures of the Black Spire Outpost, a remote settlement that’s become a harbor for thieves, pirates and bounty hunters.

The aircraft is part of a new attraction called Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run. Visitors who board it will tackle various tasks in order to safely pilot the craft on a dangerous mission.

Stepping into battle

A second attraction also is well underway. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will put guests in the middle of a battle between the Resistance and the First Order. The teaser trailer was filmed inside the attraction, hinting at its vast scope.

The new land also will host Oga's Cantina, an otherworldly bar that will serve signature cocktails. It's the first time guests outside the exclusive Club 33 will be able to imbibe within Disneyland.

Though Galaxy’s Edge is still roughly six months away from opening, work is underway to widen walkways and improve traffic flow. In some areas, gardens are being shortened or removed to allow more room for the thousands of guests who will no doubt be making a beeline to the new 14-acre land, Disneyland's largest single addition.
